The dream world, how has it helped those here?

At first it’s all “hello” and “I am [name]” and then before you know it, it’s all exceptions and grammatical errors and

Oh no. I have so many languages where that’s basically all I have.

But I’ve noticed that’s the point of mastery of both language and socialisation. Figuring out when it’s alright or even normal to break the rules.

Anyway, in terms of how the dream world has helped… I have an example from the sleep I just woke up from, so I thought I would point it out here.

My dreams were like shadow work. I faced a lot of past traumas during the sleep I recently woke from, but it wasn’t terrible. I’m not feeling horrible right now.

In the dreams, I was clearly trying to resolve one of them (or trying to display that I’m not taking that crap anymore), and I think it was showing me that I’m not quite there yet. So I think that’s saying that I should actually let go. It was showing that the other party was getting too much enjoyment from me telling them to eff off. But instead of eff off, I should be like, “F-- it, f-- it,” like the woman in the TikTok video.

(If you go to the thread, a content warning as I give context to the dream right after which starts hinting towards childhood abuse and negligence.)

I think my next steps from that are to do some ritual of letting go. I did that combo freezing spell and included this person – Harmony's Shield: A Freezer Spell for Conflict Resolution – but I think it’s time to just cut the cord. Be done. Totally “f-- it.” And it was the dream world that finally helped me realise this.
